Chapter 8: The Curse

In the evening, Lin Ran found Fan Beixiao and asked him to go out for dinner, Lin Ran wanted to seize this opportunity, this case now seems to be very tricky, even Wang Changhai, as an old police officer of the serious crime team, may not be able to solve the case in a short time. Lin Ran wanted to find the clues of the case in the shortest possible time, maybe he and Fan Beixiao could directly turn positive.

Lin Ran found a food stall and asked for some beer and skewers, and the two sat down to drink and chat.

"Abei, have you found the family's information?" Lin Ran asked.

"Brother Ran, don't you still believe me? Can this little thing be difficult for me? Fan Beixiao proudly took out a stack of documents in his bag and put them in front of Lin Ran.

Lin Ran glanced at the documents that Fan Beixiao had placed on the table and put them up, all the information recorded on them was about the deceased's family.

"By the way, Brother Ran, why are you so emotional about this case?" Fan Beixiao took a bite of mutton skewers and took a sip of beer and asked.

"Think about it, if we find clues in this case before others find clues, do you say that the two of us will be taken seriously by the leaders of the bureau, then is it still a problem for us to become regulars?" Lin Ran said to Fan Beixiao with a smile.

"Oh, yes! Why didn't I think of this, Brother Ran, you can see far! I'll follow you in the future! Fan Beixiao's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Ran say this.

"Go, don't pat me on the back! If you spend all your time at work, you can still do it with your head?! Lin Ran glared at Fan Beixiao and said.

"Hehe, Brother Ran, you don't know my personality yet! The most annoying rules and regulations went to work or something! There is no freedom at all, but it feels like following you, and the whole day is more exciting than the people in the movie! Fan Beixiao said with a smile.

"Less poor, you! Solve this case first! Come, drink! Lin Ran touched Fan Beixiao with a wine glass.

Lin Ran was anxious to see the information of the deceased in that villa, so he didn't drink too much with Fan Beixiao, and the two went back when they were full. After Lin Ran returned to the house he rented, he immediately took out the information that Fan Beixiao gave him.

Through the information, Lin Ran learned that the owner of the villa was called Hu Feng, the owner of a small company. That villa was auctioned by him at a real estate auction, Lin Ran looked at the time, and it was less than two months since Hu Feng auctioned this villa.

Usually, this Hu Feng's reputation in the commercial street is not bad, and there is no opponent or anything, and the forensic identification results have also come out to rule out suicide and homicide. Lin Ran couldn't figure out how such an honest person could suddenly die at home? And it was still extinguished, what is the reason?

Lin Ran was lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, all he thought about was the scene he saw in that weird villa today, the rotting corpses, the yellow talisman on the door, the weirdly decorated room, the weird mask, and the other shadow, all of which seemed to prove the weirdness of that villa, and what was going on with the hanging ghost that Guo Ting saw on that dead tree, whether that villa was really haunted.

These spearheads all point in one direction, and at the end of that direction is the ghost. However, Lin Ran had never heard of ghost killing, and thinking about it, Lin Ran fell asleep unconsciously.

The next day, Lin Ran was woken up by the ringtone set by his mobile phone, Lin Ran quickly finished washing, hurriedly ate some early and went to the police station. Because Lin Ran is a trainee police officer, there is no place for him to be used in the police station, so Lin Ran changed into civilian clothes and went to the villa, Lin Ran wanted to make an unannounced visit to see if he could find any useful clues.

The villa photographed by Hu Feng is in the old city, and the old city is generally inhabited by some elderly old men and old ladies, who all look like they don't hear anything outside the window, and they can't ask any useful clues at all.

In desperation, Lin Ran had no choice but to find Hu Feng's neighbor who called the police, Hu Feng's neighbor was a woman in her forties named Wang Fang, Lin Ran went to their house to find her, and the woman was surprised to see Lin Ran.

"Eldest sister, I'm from the police department! This is my ID! Lin Ran took out his temporary police ID card and showed it to her.

"Oh, comrade policeman! What are you looking for from me? I just came out of you yesterday, and I've said everything I need to say! I really didn't see anything! When I went to their house, I found that they were all dead, and I was scared to death! The woman began to babble.

"It's not like that, big sister, I'm not here to interrogate you, I just want to know about the past of that villa! I just want to ask the eldest sister if you know! Lin Ran smiled and said.

"A broken villa, what is there to know!" Wang Fang seems to be very taboo about this topic.

"Eldest sister, didn't you just say that you said everything you should have said, then I want to ask you what you shouldn't say, can you tell me?" Lin Ran seized the loophole in Wang Fang's sentence.

"This ......," Wang Fang immediately hesitated when she heard Lin Ran say this.

"It's okay, eldest sister, you can say it! That's just the two of us, anyway! I won't tell anyone! Lin Ran saw Wang Fang hesitate, and knew in her heart that she really knew something.

"Actually, it's nothing! Before they even moved in, I had heard that the villa was haunted! I don't know if it's real or fake! But after they moved in, I found out that they often hired some fortune tellers! Seeing that Lin Ran was so persistent, Wang Fang said some things he knew.

"Fortune teller?" Lin Ran frowned, thinking of the yellow talismans he saw on the door, and those yellow talismans were most likely given to them by those fortune tellers.

"That's right! And those fortune tellers were still bullish when they went in, but they ran out not long after they went in! It's like he's seen something that scares him to death! Wang Fang looked serious.

"Thank you, big sister!" Lin Ran nodded and said to Wang Fang, Lin Ran understood that he couldn't ask anything useful even if he asked.

When Lin Ran came out of Wang Fang's house, a sloppy old man in his fifties and sixties happened to pass by in front of him, muttering something.

"I told you not to stop, you didn't listen, this time it's dead! They're all dead! That's her place, and whoever lives in her will die! That place was cursed by her scare! ”

The old man's voice was very small, but it was still heard by Lin Ran, who was at the tip of his ear.

"Uncle, what did you just say?" Li Ran grabbed the old man's shoulder.

"Huh?" The old man looked back at Lin Ran suddenly, startling Lin Ran.

"Hehe, I told you a long time ago! Don't live! Don't live! You're dead this time! Don't blame me! Ha ha! Hey! The old man looked at Lin Ran with a smirk and said, before Lin Ran could say something, he didn't know that he suddenly got the strength to shake off Lin Ran's hand and ran away like crazy.

Lin Ran just wanted to chase after him, but Wang Fang's voice sounded behind him.

"He's crazy, talking crazy all day!" Wang Fang looked at the sloppy old man's figure with a disgusted expression.

"Eldest sister, was he like this before?" Lin Ran asked suddenly.

"No, I don't know where the crazy old man came from! Before the accident happened, I saw the crazy old man wandering around in front of their house every day. It seems that the old man only appeared when the house next door moved over! Wang Fang pointed to the villa and said.

When Lin Ran heard Wang Fang say this, he suddenly remembered what the old man had just said, and the old man that Wang Fang had just said was wandering around the door of that villa every day, would the old man be talking about that villa? If what the old man said was really about that villa, then who was she that the old man was talking about? Is that the original owner of that villa?

It seems that if you have time to find that old man, you have to ask carefully, Lin Ran felt that the old man was very likely to know about that villa.
